Catalina Island’s\u00a0Avalon<\/a> has most the tourist attractions (and tourists) but on the west end at the isthmus is\u00a0Two Harbors where you can camp or book reservations and stay at the 12 room Banning House Lodge. The trip to Two Harbors on Catalina Express<\/a> (catalinaexpress.com)\u00a0from San Pedro is a 20 mile jaunt which takes approx. one hour. Two Harbors makes a fantastic overnighter or several days stay\u00a0if you don’t demand the hustle and bustle of Avalon.<\/p>\n Upon arrival Two Harbors may look familiar to film buffs. Mutiny on The Bounty\u00a0and dozens of other\u00a0pictures needing the South Seas look have filmed there. You may also notice something unique–the American Bison herd wandering free. There are approx. 150 such animals monitored by Catalina Island Conservancy.\u00a0You can hike, mountain bike, take a Hummer jeep tour, sunbathe, boat in the bay, and just relax. With just two restaurants\u00a0and\u00a0one hotel\u00a0Two Harbors is\u00a0quite a bit slower than Avalon. It’s not going to be the best choice for everyone, but for those who can stand the relaxed pace, by all means check it out!
